December 3rd - 7th

What We're Working on This Week:

Language Arts

Last week and this coming week we will continue to be visited by
Superhero Super Reader!!
Our Superhero Super Reader has been helping us use our reading super powers to become great readers!  We are loving practicing our reading super powers in readers workshop!
So far we have learned: Pointer Power and Re-Read Power!

We will also learn two new word wall words: "he" and "for"
After learning these two words we will have 20 Word Wall Words!  Whoo hoo!

We are doing an awesome job writing in our journals and have continued to discuss our
Writing Checklist:

We are also reading some books that were written and illustrated by Jan Brett!  


Social Studies

This week we will start a new unit in Social Studies that focuses on our diverse cultures!
It is called Culture: How we Live and Celebrate!
We will kick off this unit by talking about several different winter holidays!  


Math

This week we will be reviewing all of our addition strategies! We are excited about practicing adding with larger numbers, too! We will be doing some fun, hands-on stations to practice all of our addition stragies!

Science

Right now we are becoming weather experts! We will be learning all about weather throughout the seasons. We will also be studying the patterns of day and night and the objects in the sky.


Library Day - Mondays 

LIBRARY BOOKS DUE ON MONDAY!
Bring your book back so you can check out a new one!
We Love Library! 



Six Flags Reading Logs: 


Before Thanksgiving break all the kindergarten students received an information letter and a book log
about our Six Flags Read to Succeed program!  This is a fantastic program to help motivate children to read and listen to books and earn a reward in the process!  Students that read (or listen) to stories for a minimum of 6 hours and record their book titles on the log will earn a free ticket to 6 Flags over Texas!  The kids love getting their free ticket at the end of each school year!  You can record ANY books that your child reads (book bag books), books that you read to them, or books that they read and listen to on Razz Kids!

Book Logs are due back in February but feel free to return as soon as you complete! 

Terrific Tiny Texans:

Each week we will be spotlighting a special TCE Tiny Texan from each class. This is someone who we've seen going above and beyond and doing a fabulous job in class! They will get to be our line leader for the week, and they will get to fill out a STAR STUDENT poster to share during family meetings. This weeks texans are:
